Top Downtown Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

The Wander Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for a 2 day trip it clean with comfortable beds and were able to see a bear walking through the parking lot early one morning."

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"We have a river view room which was wonderful. The room is older but the beds were comfortable and plenty of room to move around. We requested a lower floor for mobility reasons and the staff made that happen. The only draw back was parking in front of our room. It is first come first serve so one night we had to park on the hill which is what we were trying to avoid. Maybe assign spots for each room for mobility rooms. Idk. The pool was wonderful and relaxing."

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just stayed at Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown and it was excellent from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Gatlinburg, steps from shops and restaurants, yet quiet enough for a restful night. The room was spacious, bright, and spotless, with a modern design and incredibly comfortable beds that made for deep, refreshing sleep. The bathroom was sleek, with a great shower and quality amenities. Service was a highlight: the staff were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful from check-in to check-out. The front desk team (Sarah was especially kind) went above and beyond. The rooftop bar and restaurant offered fantastic views and a wonderful dinner experience, and the pool area felt first-class and relaxing. Overall, this is a top-tier hotel that balances style and comfort perfectly. I highly recommend Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown for anyone visiting the Smokies."
